It was an amazing trip, and I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay in Bhutan. I would truly call it a God-gifted journey so rich in culture, arts, and crafts. The colors, designs, and the warmth of the people made me fall in love with everything about the place. I arrived alone, yet I left a part of my heart behind with what truly felt like my second family.

Everything was one step ahead so well planned and organized that I never felt uneasy at any point. The entire journey was smooth, seamless, and beautifully managed. Hats off to the team for such wonderful arrangements. Bhutan will always have a special place in my heart.❤️

LaMa Walks gave me so much more than I expected. They connected me with amazing local professionals who helped me develop outdoor skills while showing incredible hospitality and sharing their beautiful culture.

What makes this company special is how they treat you like a person, not just a transaction.

The genuine care and warmth I experienced turned what could have been just activities into real friendships and unforgettable memories.

If you want to truly experience Nepal through the hearts of locals who will welcome you like family, choose LaMa Walks. I am so grateful for this incredible experience and company.

Back in February I traveled to Nepal for business and had roughly 10 days after my contracts ended to see and experience a bit of Nepal beyond what I saw during my work. As a professional guide with nearly 20 years of experience in North America I was reluctant to entertain the thought of hiring a guide service at first. But in hindsight I am so glad that I did!

LaMa Walks was recommended to me by a colleague of mine. Below are a few of my highlights and observations while working with this absolute top tier guide service.

Professional and Timely correspondence: From the very beginning everyone I communicated with about any and all questions that I had was friendly, professional and informative. Having only 10-days to explore I wasn’t sure what my options really were and LaMa was able to help me choose the best experience possible with the time that I had.

Itemized itinerary: Soon after my initial inquiry I was provided with a few options that could meet my needs. Each option was fully itemized with cost and exactly what was included. Nothing was left to my imagination and I knew exactly what I would be getting. Plus, once I made a decision, my trek provided all that was listed with absolutely no hiccups.

Professional guides: I was also very impressed with the professionalism of the entire LaMa Walks team. My guide for a 9-day trek in the LangTang N.P was Manish (pictured below). From the very start of my time with Manish it was clear to me that he was honest, knowledgeable & professional. What I appreciated most was his in indepth knowledge of the LangTang region. This is where I really found the most value in hiring a guide. Without Manish I would not have learned or experienced as much as I was able to along the way. Having him with me was definitely a reason that this trek became a trip of a lifetime and I’m truly grateful.

Trekking with Purpose: I’ll admit that initially I was really sure what this meant. However, it did not take a long time for me to understand. During my Trek in LangTang each teahouse we stayed in felt more like a home stay than a guesthouse. This was a welcome departure from some of the larger more commercial options that existed along the way. This is the most significant reason why I’m so glad I invested in this guide company. I truly felt that I had the opportunity to connect with a community that if left to my own devices I would not have had the chance to. I often felt more like family than a guest.

Feeling more like family than a guest seems to have been a theme throughout my entire experience with LaMa walks from start to finish. An investment in LaMa Walks is an investment in yourself. Do it. You will not be sorry.

Had recently went on an adventure to Lubuche to do my first peak with LaMa Walks. A very professional team, from the start to end, even before the start. They were always on prompt to all your needs. From the curation of the itinerary to the time we were back, everyone moment was taken care off, with smile on the faces of all the staffs, porters, Sherpa's. Surely planning my another climb with you soon !

Our trip to Lobuche Peak, including 2 passes (Renjo La and Cho La) plus Everest Base Camp with LaMa Walks was nothing short of amazing.
LaMa walks is a highly professional and ethical company. By trekking with LaMa Walks you not only receive an excellent itinerary to optimise acclimatisation but also learn about the mountains, the people and culture. Environmental sustainability is an important ethos of LaMa walks which is always highly appreciated. All staff were exemplary in the organising and running of this trip of a lifetime.

I just returned from an unforgettable trek with "Lama Walks". Their team is highly experienced and super friendly, with a deep connection to the local community. Our guide was a local favorite, ensuring we felt at home. The lodges were cozy, and help was always available. Plus, our guide's boundless energy kept us motivated even on the toughest trails.

And the cherry on top? His non-stop humor kept us laughing all the way!

With Lama Works, you're guaranteed an adventure that's as fun as it is unforgettable!

Lobuche expedition end to end from Kathmandu - one of the most difficult expeditions for mountaineering beginners like me was a such a great delight managed by Lama walks. Kudos to the team Lama walks - Rajesh Lama, Rachana Lama, Ashok Lama and the entire support staff for managing the expedition in such way that I and my fellow expedition members did not feel we were doing it for the first time.
The best part of the expedition was the choice of the Route, selection of the properties for the stay, awesome and delightful food, appropriate Acclimatization and above all the personalized touch and motivation which no other trekking professional would have done. It was like a customized personal expedition with friends made for life time and every minute detail taken care of from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. Thanks Lama walks. You won all our hearts so many times need less to say.

Thank you Lamawalks for the best experience for Tilicho Lake trek. Even it was on short notice Lama made everything possible. My guide Manish was very friendly and professional and made me comfortable and provided me the best experience I could have from arranging the best hotels to delicious meals. He was always there to motivate in difficult trails and wouldn’t let me fall and catch me even I slip. He was very knowledgeable about the culture, places, trails, layering , first aid and even knows the names of all mountains. Shared his expertise not only with me but with other trekkers also and helped them also. He sings , dance to entertain the whole people around them. And about my Porter (Maila Dai) is an awesome guy and always smiles and made me happy always. I’m very grateful for Lamawalks for this experience and can recommend to anyone if you’re looking for the best time in Nepal. They got it all 🥾🏔️😊

Lama and the LaMA Walks team are AMAZING. Thank you for a wonderful trip, keeping us safe, helping us have fun, and teaching us about your country! I loved having ladies on our trip, especially knowing that they uplift lady guides! We were mindful of the environment and the people we interacted with. The route and details were thoughtful planned. I can't recommend them enough.

Our student group had a great week with LaMa walks hiking in the foothills of the Himalaya and providing service to local organizations. LaMa's team are very nice people who care deeply for the environment that they lead adventures in. Would definitely recommend LaMa Walks for others looking to explore the mountains in Nepal.

Three words to describe LaMa Walks: professional, inclusive, and fun! Can't say enough good things about our experience trekking to Kanchenjunga Basecamp. What's different about LaMa Walks? 1) LaMa took time to recommend us the best trek for our group (we wanted something remote and challenging) and made a special trip to scout the route in advance to make sure he identified the best accommodations and could flag safety concerns like downed bridges or landslides. 2)The company lives its values. They are doing (not just talking about) gender inclusion in the trekking community--we had not one, but two, awesome women guides! 3) Vibes! Not only was the team supremely professional, but we also had fun, from making up silly hiking songs, to learning new card games, to doing daily stretches that kept us limber. Knowing we were coffee lovers, LaMa even went out of his way to make us fresh coffee using his Nalgene french press. Every evening we sat together, debriefed the day to troubleshoot any challenges, and went over the next day’s plan. That was something unique I didn’t see other groups doing. HIGHLY recommend choosing LaMa Walks for your Nepal adventure.

We had a phenomenal experience trekking to Kangchenjunga base camp with LaMa Walks. LaMa's expertise was evident throughout the process, from helping us choose a trek to arranging all the logistics to sharing natural and cultural knowledge with us. He has also assembled an amazing team of both men and women, whose energy never dropped as they led our hikes, brought us meals and tea, taught us card games, and carried our bags. Very quickly into the trip we felt like we were trekking with friends rather then just hiring strangers, something not always the case with other groups we saw. We also were impressed with LaMa's support for local communities, which have been hit in the last few years by COVID and flooding. Overall we were extremely satisfied and hope we'll be able to go trekking with LaMa Walks again!

My school worked with LaMa Walks to organise a schooltrip and it was honestly one of the most amazing experiences of my life! The LaMa Walks team was super kind, friendly, and supportive. They created a wonderful trip for us– and were flexible when faced with unforeseen challenges (like weather). Thank you so much to the team at LaMa Walks for this trip of a lifetime, and for anyone thinking of exploring Nepal with LaMa Walks... do it!

LaMa provided the best trekking experience for my group that I could have imagined. He understood what kind of trek we wanted and provided us options that were ideal for us. LaMa made sure we were taken care of from our arrival in Kathmandu to the moment we left. Most importantly we felt confident in him and his team as they guided us for two weeks on the Kanchenjunga base camp circuit at high elevation. I was so impressed that he had two female guides and our mostly female group and queer was shown the same respect as the guys. LaMa was also environmentally conscious and made sure we had a low impact on the small, remote communities that were hosting us.
I can’t thank LaMa and his team enough for a trip of a lifetime.

Our school group had an amazing trekking experience with LaMa Walks. From start to finish, the entire journey was nothing short of spectacular. The guides were not only knowledgeable about the terrain and local culture but also incredibly passionate about ensuring we had a memorable time in Nepal.

The organization and attention to detail were impeccable. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to exceed our school's goals for the trip, the accommodations provided were comfortable, and the meals exceeded our expectations. The guides went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group felt comfortable and safe. They were always ready with a smile, eager to share their knowledge and stories.

I also appreciated LaMa Walks commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism. It was evident that they prioritize minimizing environmental impact and supporting local communities, adding an extra layer of fulfillment to the overall experience.

I highly recommend LaMa Walks!

The trekking was an experience beyond perfect, it is hard to describe in words. The Mardi Himal trek with its breathtaking views and nature is definitely a must try for those with more limited time, but it was definitely the Lamawalks team that made this trek unforgettable. All Lamawalks team had very kind and responsive communication. Lama had adjusted our all needs we had, and given detailed briefing before even setting off.
He helped us wholeheartedly not only for trekking but for our whole visit to Kathmandu. Sandia and Neema did everything to make the trek comfortable and safe for us. Everything was very well organized from the very beginning.
From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped back to the hotel, every detail about trekkong as transportation, accommodation, food and beverage, equipment and every detail that would make the journey enjoyable was thought of.
We had short meetings at the end of the all days to evaluate the day and plan for the next day, and Sandia, who reminded us of anecdotes that even we had forgotten, left us with amazing memories. We have started making plans to come back again to Nepal and try different trekking trails, but the only thing we are sure of is that we will do it with Lamawalks.Thank you Lamawalks, it was so nice to meet people who do their job with such care, sensitivity and quality 💚

Rajesh Lama aka Lama Walks
Thank you for your outstanding support. All our clients from Japan were impressed and happy with your work.
You were swift to attend guests, provided information when required and specially took care of the ones who had illness.

"Lama-san, is such a great guy. He made us laugh and took care of us professionally!" - is what most of the clients had to share.

Having known you for more than 10 years, I am confident when you are with us. Thank you Lama and good luck with your future endavours.

I am thrilled to share my experience with Lama Walks, who led me on an unforgettable adventure through the breathtaking mountains of Nepal. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by his team of experienced guides and friendly staff.

Throughout the journey, he was incredible at sharing Nepal's best kept secrets, taking me to hidden gems and providing unique insights into the culture and history of this incredible country. His knowledge and passion for the region was truly infectious and inspired me to explore even deeper and appreciate of this beautiful country.

The Himal Mardi trek itself was nothing short of amazing, with stunning views of the Himalayas, challenging yet exhilarating trails, and plenty of opportunities for rest and reflection along the way. The accommodations and meals (especially the Dal bhat at Forest camp!) provided by Lama Walks were exceptional, ensuring I was well-fed, warm, and comfortable throughout the journey.

Above all, what stood out most to me about Lama Walks was his unwavering commitment to safety and sustainability. He took great care to ensure that I was well-prepared for the trek, providing me with all the necessary gear and equipment, and taking every precaution to keep me healthy and protected.

Overall, I cannot recommend Lama Walks highly enough. He is truly the best in the business and will give you an experience of a lifetime that you will never forget. Thank you, Lama Walks, for sharing your passion and expertise and for leading me on an incredible journey through the heart of Nepal!

Namaste, your Malaysian friend 🙏
